    This problem has been going on for many years and in many differing continents . The church has yet to come to grips with it . Remember Jesus' words that "worthless fruits come from worthless trees" ,and by "their "fruits" you will recognize them . Plenty fruits in the Catholic church . Funny ,even some of Jesus' apostles were married ,where did the celibacy rule come from?Maybe blame Satan on that one?

    gay people sure seem to hate to be gay when it comes down to it - a satanic plot? thats pretty harsh to say of your fellow peers. and dont even get me started on Craig. When people have been saying you are gay for years and years - usually its because its true. If youve heard all your life what a jerk you are - you probably are jerk. If youve heard all your life how you need to save money - you probably need to save money.

    Anyone interested in the tension between organized religion and homosexuality should see an excellent Documentary "For The Bible Tells Me So" which deals with these issues and features Gene Robinson, the gay Episcopalian Bishop in New Hampshire.

    I love the excuses these men come up with. "Working undercover to expose a Satanic plot to lure priests into homosexuality." It sounds like he took a page out of Senator Larry "I Never Have Been Gay" Craig's playbook. Make up an outrageous, completely unbelievable excuse and keep repeating it in the hopes that it will wear people down into finally buying it.

    The major problem here is not that there are gay priests. Priest are to remain celibate. That is the major problem. They should not be sexually soliciting anyone, male or female.

    So your growing up in a Catholic family and when you hit puberty these strange feelings of attraction to the same sex hit you... but you've been told your whole life Homosexuality is a terrible sin, how could this be? How could it happen to me? You supress these feelings, hide them, then when you are nearing your 20's deciding on a vocation, you choose the priesthood,, "this will cure me of my abominal sins you think to yourself..." The Catholic church has yet to come to grips with this reality, a HUGE number of their priests (and nuns) are homosexual, a MUCH LARGER proportion than in the general population. I know literally dozens of closeted priests who all tell the exact story I described here. Joining the priesthood does nothing to "cure" one from homosexuality, it does however insure that a very large majority of priests and nums are gay. The same church that denied that the earth revolved around the sun is also denying that it has a problem.... yea, denial, that'll make it go away.
